Animal Wisdom, a new film of her stage show.
Americans have never been less attached to religion. According to Gallup, only 47 percent of Americans belong to a church, synagogue, or mosque — and the fastest-growing religion in the United States is "none." But just because we are losing our taste for organized religion doesn't mean there isn't plenty of hunger for disorganized, even messy kinds of faith (if you don't believe me, you've obviously never sat in a gay bar and suffered through a sermon about your astrological chart). Enter Heather Christian and her idiosyncratic Louisiana mysticism, fascinatingly communicated through a show that is part concert and part séance.
